Advice from someone who went from 255 to 200 in the span of January to November and became a confident weight lifter.
Start slow. NEVER say I’m getting rid of this food (when you’re starting out). You like soda? Ok, try to drink water or unsweet tea at one of your meals. You like French fries? Try eating half of a portion or if possible branching out and replacing them with sweet potato fries (I prefer sweet potato fries now!).
I started out using Weight Watchers. Their program is absolutely fantastic for beginners. Now I’m working with a personal trainer with dieting and workouts, but weight watchers is a great starting point! You can also use My Fitness Pal, but using it requires learning some nutrition basics.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN WORKING OUT: get your diet right! Have a plan, do you want to lose weight? Then do cardio and more cardio. Beware, this option may have a drawback with more loose skin. Want to replace fat with muscle? Take it slow, and learn what protein is.
Try to find an exercise you like. Personally I absolutely love weightlifting, but don’t think that weightlifting or running are your only two options. Swimming, boxing, yoga, tennis, basketball, biking, and hiking are all options. Just find a form of exercise you love and stick with it.
The hardest part is starting. If you take it slow, YOU WILL be successful. Don’t start big (especially this week on Thanksgiving). Start slow and make changes periodically.
And yes, if done correctly, your confidence will EXPLODE! Trust me.
